Deimos Tokens and my thoughts

[ReavingReaper]

Having gone through and looked at all the tokens needed in the area of deimos to level up their respective group, i had my own thoughts on the subject as their system is a clear change to the norm of rep farming/turn in for rep.

To avoid spoilers, i wont name names and will try to do my best to allow everyone else to enjoy deimos as they see fit.

so 1. I enjoy the token system in the fact that when i get max cap on rep, i can continue to farm and prepare for the next day. It allows players to always find a group as people will continually farm the bounties to get tokens and makes it more fun for those playing.

2. I do no like the fact of forced variety of the venders in which to acquire the other tokens that don't come from bounties. Having to play with RNG and hoping that your farming attempts have yielded the rewards needed to get the tokens is a chore and a half which i don't like. Not to mention having an over arcing token vender who needs everyone else tokens in the a 500 point smaller quantity then just simply tuning in the smaller tokens.

3.Farming in demois for the ore/gem portion is far more a chore then anticipated as to why, its simply the fact that the mining spots share similar color shades to the land then the usual bright red/blue that we have seen in fortuna and cetus. With also the fact that taking damage causes you to fail your current mining beam immediately, certain areas are very troubling to mine as creatures have tendices to put it bluntly, come off the walls at you.

4. For the capture creature portion, again with the land as it is, the creatures have tendencies to avoid their norms and charge you while your trying to avoid detection which then scares the target /damages it from a perfect capture.

 

And thats it for the tokens, i have yet to aquire the means to the mech/helmith/ everything else so yeah

DE made a change to fix the lack of visibility already. And damage has always had that impact on mining, as far as I recall.

• I don’t know that they have done anything to fix the dots being buried, or any of the other issues.

This statement doesn’t make sense.

You forgot a core issue with mining in that, because you're in an infested world, everything is pulsating and throbbing. I have seen, multiple times, as the mining hotspots sink into the tendrils.

Sorry about that, If you get tokens from the normal venders, they are worth 100 rep each, if you go to the eldest and trade them in, you roughly get a token worth 1500, which depending on the trade involved, nets you an extra 500 rep,

10 bounty tokens =1 elder token
10 mining+10 fishing tokens= 2 elder tokens,

Etc etc, near the end there i started to lose focus and couldnt think of a better way to say it

Indeed, my issue is the fact that everything is pulsating, so finding the different color pulse in the area when everything is moving is annoying as hell
